Creativity has come to be valued, because new technologies, new industries and new wealth flow from it. And as a result, our lives and society have begun to echo with creative ideas. It is our commitment to creativity in its varied dimensions that forms the underlying spirit of our age. Creativity is essential to the way we live and work today, and in many senses always has been. The big advances in standard of living-not to mention the big competitive advantages in the marketplace-always have come from” better recipes, not just more cooking.” One might argue thats not strictly true. One might point out, for instance, that during the long period from the early days on the Industrial Revolution to modern times, much of the growth in productivity and material wealth in the industrial nations came not just from creative inventions like the steam engine, but from the widespread application of “cooking in quantity” business methods like massive division of labor, concentration of assets, vertical integration and economies of scale. But those methods themselves were creative developments. 参考译文：作为经济生活所表明的特征，人类社会创造力的提升为我们这个时代正在发生的巨大的变化提供了巨大的动力。由于许多新的技术，新兴的工业以及新的财富都源自于创造力，所以，它的价值业已凸现出来。因此，各种创新的观念开始在我们的生活和社会中传播开来。正是人们在各个领域对创造力的认同才形成了我们这个时代精神的基础。/创造力对我们当今的生活和工作方式至关重要，而且在许多方面始终如此。生活水平的大幅度提高总是来源于更好的食谱，而不只是烹饪更多的食品，更不用说在市场条件下那些大的竞争优势了。然而，有人则会认这并不完全正确。比如说，有人也许会指出从早期的工业化时代到现代这么长的时期里，一些工业国家的生产力的大幅度提高和物资财富的大量增长并不仅仅是来自于象蒸气机这样的创造性的发明；而且还得益于“大量烹饪”商业模式的广泛使用。如大规模的劳动力的分工，资产的集中，纵向联合以及规模经济等，但是所有这些模式本身就是创造性的发展。 2008MBA英语真题翻译The term ”business model” first came into widespread use with the invention of personal computer and the spreadsheet(空白表格程序).Before the spreadsheet, business planning usually meant producing a single forecast. At best, you did a little sensitivity analysis around the projection. The spreadsheet ushered in a much more analytic approach to planning because every major line item could be pulled apart, its components and subcomponents analyzed and tested. You could ask what- if questions about the critical assumptions on which. your business depended-for example, what if customers are more price-sensitive than we thought?-and with a few keystrokes, you could see how any change would play out on every aspect of the whole. In other words, you could model the behavior of a business. Before the computer changed the nature of business planning, most successful business models were created more by accident than by elaborate design. By enabling companies to tie their marketplace insights much more tightly to the resulting economics, spread sheet made it possible to model business before they were launched.参考译文：“商业模型”这个术语是随着个人计算机的发明和空白表格程序的问世而得以广泛应用的。在空白表格程序发明之前，商业策划一般意味着做出一个单一性预测。你充其量只能对某个项目做出一些敏感性分析。这种空白表格程序为计划带来了更强的可分析性途径，因为每一个主要列项都能够被拆分，每一个成分和细节都能够被分析和检验。你可以针对你的决定性的商业设想做任何的“假设式”的疑问。举例来说，如果顾客对于价格的敏感性比我们预想的要高，我们该怎样？而只要敲几下键盘，你就能够知道哪一种变化能够在整体上对各个方面造成影响。换句话说，你能够将商业行为模式化。计算机改变了商业计划的本质。在此之前，很多的成功的商业模型都不是出于精心的设计，而是得之于偶然。空白表格程序使公司将它们的市场洞察和经济影响紧密相联。从而在计划出来之前就制定商业模式成为了可能。2009MBA英语真题翻译With the nations financial system teetering on a cliff. The compensation arrangements for executives of the big banks and other financial firms are coming under close examination again.Bankers excessive risk- taking is a significant cause of this financial crisis and has continued, to others in the past, in this case, it was fueled by low interest rates and kept going by a false sense of security created by a debt-fueled bubble in the economy.Mortgage lenders gladly lent enormous sums to those who could not afford to pay them back dividing the laws and selling them off to the next financial institution along the chain, advantage of the same high-tech securitization to load on more risky mortgage-based assets.Financial regulation will have to catch up with the most irresponsible practices that led banks down in this road, in hopes averting the next crisis, which is likely to involve different financial techniques and different sorts of assets. But it is worth examining the root problem of compensation schemes that are tied to short-term profits and revenues, and thus encourage bankers to take irresponsible risks.参考译文：由于国家金融体制处于危机边缘动荡,一些大银行和金融机构中的高级管理人员的补偿金计划就受到密切关注.银行家们过度冒险是金融危机的至关重要原因,在历史上也有类似情况.在这种情况下,一般是由低息引起并造成持续的错觉,其实是一种债务泡沫经济.抵押贷款人很乐意把大量资金借给无力偿还的人,就把贷款瓜分了,并沿这样的链条出售给下一个金融机构,这些做法都在利用高科技证券业,结果,却增加了抵押资产的风险.金融条例必须能应付这种能使银行下滑的,最不负责任的做法,以期扭转下一个危机,而这下一个危机很可能包括有各种类型的技术和资产.但值得审视补偿金计划的根本问题,因为那是眼前利益,但却让银行家们不负责任的甘冒风险.2010MBA英语真题翻译 “Sustainability” has become a popular word these days, but to Ted Ning, the concept will always have personal meaning. Having endured a painful period of unsustainability in his own life made it clear to him that sustainability-oriented values must be expressed though everyday action and choice. Ning recalls spending a confusing year in the late 1990s selling insurance. Hed been though the dot-com boom and burst and, desperate for a job, signed on with a Boulder agency. It didnt go well. “It was a really had move because thats not my passion,” says Ning, whose dilemma about the job translated, predictably, into a lack of sales. “I was miserable, I had so much anxiety that I would wake up in the middle of the night and stare at the ceiling. I had no money and needed the job. Everyone said, Just wait, youll turn the corner, give it some time.”参考译文：“坚持不懈”如今已成一个流行词汇，但对TedNing而言，这个概念一直有个人含义，经历了一段痛苦松懈的个人生活，使他清楚面向以坚持不懈为导向的价值观，必须贯彻到每天的行动和选择中。 Ning回忆起20世纪90年代末期卖保险的那段迷茫时光，他通过蓬勃兴起的网络疯狂地找工作，并且与Boulder代理机构签了约。 事情进展并不顺利，TedNing说到：“那真是个糟糕的选择，因为我对此没有激情，”可以预料，他把工作中的矛盾能解释为没有业务。Ning说：“我很痛苦渴望午夜起来盯着天花板，我没钱，我需要工作，每个人都说等吧，只要有耐心会好转的。” 2011MBA英语真题翻译Who would have thought that, globally, the IT industry produces about the same volumes of greenhouse gases as the worlds airlines do-rough 2 percent of all CO2 emissions?Many everyday tasks take a surprising toll on the environment. A Google search can leak between 0.2 and 7.0 grams of CO2 depending on how many attempts are needed to get the “right” answer. To deliver results to its users quickly, then, Google has to maintain vast data centers round the world, p
